The Office: Stress Relief

First review! Well there's not a lot to say. This was a really good episode, one of the better ones so far this season. The plot was kind of all over the place, but it was just really funny so that more than made up for it.

The episode started out with Dwight starting a fire to teach the Office about fire safety. Everyone became completely hysterical, and it was really funny. This set off a chain of events which ended with the entire office having a "roast" for Michael that was just lots of insults.

There was also a side-plot about Pam's parents marriage falling apart, which may have been due to something Jim said. This played out well, and led to one of the Office's occasional sincere moments. They rarely measure up to how funny the show is, but it was still pretty good.

The only bad part was a small subplot that involved Andy watching a bootlegged movie on his computer. It was completely unrelated to the plot, only a little bit funny, and was noticeably just a stunt to get guest stars on the show.

Overall, I'd give that episode a 9/10.

Hopefully the next thing I review will be god awful, and more entertaining. I'll try and find some terrible stuff to teach you about. Until next time

DELICIOUS REVIEWS, OUT!

  1. yeah i didnt think it was an amazing episode. some parts were really funny, but overall i didnt laugh that much.
    OMG i cant believe you think their sincere moments arent as good! i think they have the most amazing writers and their subplots are usually moving and capturing and their characters are so multidimensional. I come for the funny, but stay for the story.
    yeah the movie bit fell a little short for me, although i LOVED the scene on the stairs when cloris leachmen (sp?) was going up on the electric thing and jack black was crying. xDD
    you should come up with a special rating system! like: "hmm this movie gets five jelins..." xD
